What Jose Portillo doesn't like about Pupuseria Dona Azucena:
The staff member was rude when I called to place my order. I called twice and couldn't even finish my order before he hung up on me both times. When I arrived at the restaurant, he maintained the same attitude. The place is terrible, and with employees like this, they'll be out of business soon. Service: 1/5 View all feedback. What Melissa P likes about Pupuseria Dona Azucena:
The best pupusas you will have, in the area this said by a Latina who is used to eating these. I have eaten original ones from El Salvador and these are great. I also like yuca con chicharrón or cassava, they give you big pieces and not over fried. The only thing here is the parking is a nightmare so just know you will have to deal with this.

Authentic Salvadoran cuisine. Pork and cheese pupusa was good. The chicken tamal was small but flavorful.

I think this is a place where you need to have enough time to enjoy your meal. For people like me who just stop by, it can be difficult to eat there.
